Re: [PHOTOS] Myrtle Ave ''el'' Comes Down (Myrtle & Flatbush)

I think the major reason was money. The MTA did not want to spend the millions that were required to rehab this line. By 1969 the Q cars had to go, and each station needed wooden platform replacements. In today's climate it would have gotten a major rebuild. In the 1960's, they just tore it down.
